Caminante NocturnoSo, some people are pretty much allowed to put whatever they want into a movie, and nobody's going to call them on it?

Candlejackv616 It depends on what you consider calling him on it. I think its safe to say that to most comic fans and a decent amount of the general public thought this was dumb as shit.

I still haven't met anyone who really geeked out on this or even thought it was mediocre. I enjoy how in the past Miller blamed previous failures in the film industry on Hollywood interference and politics...I wonder in a couple of years how he'll defend this?

RaggamuffinIn Hollywood, when the two prior projects you were involved in make back 4x, and 7x their respective budgets, they let you loose to do as you please. Thankfully for us they don't forgive flops as easily.

Five for the first and, god willing, the last time Frank Miller is cut loose.

NewHeavenSalesmanYou cannot make a clunkier sequence than this. Torgo's scenes were more fluid than this, the interactions in Plan 9 more human.

Reading the wiki for this movie is like riding a white water rapid of utter despair.

CapnJesusHoodHoly shit you weren't kidding. Compliments of the wiki article, a full list of the names of the retarded clones: Phobos, Logos, Pathos, Ethos, Bulbos, Huevos, Rancheros, Mangos, Adios and Amigos.

RudyRoger Ebert: "There is not a trace of human emotion in it. To call the characters cardboard is to insult a useful packing material"

Midnight ManHow bad a director do you have to be to have these particular actors come across so stiff?

And the fuck is with making the Octopus a black weeaboo?

MrBuddyWasn't the whole point to The Octopus that he never showed his face and killed everyone who saw him? Kevin Smith once said, "In Hollywood you fail up." In other words, if you make a bad movie you get a bigger budget on your next movie. I believe him now. Stars are for the awful.

MacGyver Style BombI can't help but wonder if there was something in the ink that caused so many prominent post-Silver Age creators to go completely batshit insane. Adams, Byrne, Miller, Sim, etc...

BortSerious answer: creators such as Miller and Byrne used to work for an editor, and editors serve to rein in unruly creators. People tend to think that the writer is in charge of a comic, but really it's the editor; the editor hires the writer and artists, and the editor has final creative control over the comic. The problem comes when guys like Miller and Byrne get so big that they're allowed to work without supervision, and they get to run with ideas that, in all likelihood, some editor vetoed years ago.

Arthur JermynI can't describe how awful this is. Uwe Boll could have made a better adaptation. I can't understand how anyone allowed this film to be made. No one said anything? They really let this happen?
